Ball Rancher's Quest - JamGame

June 2021 libGDX 7 Day Game Jam Entry

Theme: Balls

**Lyze mentioned encountering a Crash.  Feel free to let me know if this happens to you as well. I have yet to replicate.**

**Dev Notes**

Having come across some really nice assets on Itch. My Goal for this next Jam was always to do something in a 2D Isometric style. Having never done anything like that before, it was a  nightmare. By Day 5, I pivoted, commented out half of the code, removed combat, salvaged what I could. And turned in into an Isometric Trivia quest instead.  Lesson learned.

**************

Anyways...

WASD keys for movement. This is Isometric Grid based movement, so it might be disorienting at first.  

**Added in Continuous Movement when holding down the keys. So it's not as sluggish to move around.

All actions happen via a Mouse click.  Clicking on a character will show you basic info about them. And if you would like to talk with them, you MUST stand next to them and then click to start dialog.

ANY key presses or clicks will "hurry up" the dialog and move to the next bit of info.

The game contains about 20 or so trivia questions related to Balls, or Ball shaped things. Most are simple or silly, some are just plain interesting. There's no way to lose, as you can always try again. You do not need to answer all the questions to win. You just need to complete the Rancher's "request" and then return to the farm once it's done.

*I have also added an onscreen directional touch buttons in the lower right. So you might be able to play this on your phone's browser. *Not guaranteed*

If you notice anything broken feel free to leave a comment.
